Hi, Am unable, to take any other meds, because of chemical sensitivity. I would be so pleased to connect with someone else who takes Digitalis, to share what you have learned. I started taking it today. I am taking it for high blood pressure caused by a regurgitating heart valve. Thanks in advance.

Do you take it in the form of Digoxin? This is what I take but be warned and don't take it at the same time as Hawthorn capsules which are supposed to be good for high blood pressure which I also have. Within an hour of taking the first capsule I felt so weak I could hardly walk. Instinct made me take my blood pressure to find that it had dropped to 60 over 40. I drank a big glass of water and went to bed (the chickens went hungry that night). The next day I felt a bit better but BP still very low, I am normally about 120 over 90. Big lesson learned do my research first, this was warned about on one of the websites. So much for trying to get off synthetic tablets, what a dickhead!

Hi organiclady, anothr lady using organic foods and natural medicines whenever I can. I did read about hawthorn, but thanks fir that . I do take Digoxin tablets. Luckily I had a Homeopathic Doctor, who unfortunately retired and returned to Australia, but he gives me advice, because regular Docs don't seem to know much.

So pleased to hear from you, nice to know there is someone out there I can relate to. Can you tell me a bit about yourself?

Kindest Regards, Marilyn.
